Ex Midland Railway Double-framed 2-4-0 built at Derby Works to the designs of Matthew Kirtley. There were 22 of this class, which had 6'-3" driving wheels and were originally built for the newly-opened main line from Bedford to St. Pancras. Four only of these engines now remain.Source: LMS Magazine, March 1937
